All of the work you complete as a SpeakWrite typist contractor will be done through our proprietary Type Easy software. You can download this program from your Typist Page anytime. To pin the program to your desktop, just use your file explorer to locate the downloaded file, and drag it over to your desktop. When you’re ready to login, just double click the type writer icon on your desktop and enter you email and password credentials. We recommend that you click the ‘remember me’ box so you don’t have to enter it each time. When you’re approved as a typist, you will see the options to set yourself at work, or not at work. Setting yourself at work allows you to begin receiving clients dictation during your scheduled shift. When your shift is over, or you need to take a break between jobs. Just set yourself ‘not at work’. However, since you’re just getting started, you will initially be doing most of your work in the ‘training’ tab. There, you will be able to access all of the training jobs which allow you to become familiar with the program, and be reviewed by the Typist Supervisors. Don’t worry, while you’re in training, none of your work is going back to clients. This is a place for you to learn about our program, and become more familiar with our policies. For this example, we will take a look at training job 1. The program opens to the job information tab by default. Here you can see a little information about the job as well as the written instructions for this customer. For example, this customer requests full justification and to use the percent sign when percent is dictated. Its important to read over the client instructions before each job so you can be sure to tailor the job to the customer’s specifications. Failure to follow a customer’s written instructions, is considered a serious error. Now that we’re familiar with the customer’s requests, we can move over to the document tab. This is where you will type the client’s work. You will see that it appears just like your regular instance of word. You will notice that this screen also displays the client’s instructions on this job. These are the same instructions you saw on the first page, but they’re displayed here in case you want to refer back to them during the job. Please note- it’s important to scroll down to make sure you don’t miss any. Also, on the right hand side, you will see the client’s word list. These are names or terms that the customer has added to ensure that they are use correctly. They might add these if this have a lot of difficult spellings in their dictation, or if they require specific capitalization or formatting of a word. If you see a word on the word list that you need to use in the document, just double click the word in the word list and it will be brought into the document. To make either the client instruction or client word list tabs disappear, just click on the checkboxes to Show or hide. While we’re on word lists- You will also note that there is an additional SpeakWrite word list under the SpeakWrite Words tab. This is the SpeakWrite word list- different from the client’s word list. These are commonly use terms that you should be aware of that may come up during dictation. For example, if the customer dictates veeza veez, but you’re unsure how to format that term, just go to the SpeakWrite word list, find the term, and double click it. Note- the customer’s word list always trumps the SpeakWrite word list if they have a spelling that contradicts with ours. Now that you’ve got your blank document pulled up and you’ve reviewed the client instructions and looked over the word list. You’re ready to get started on the job. At the top of the screen, you will see the audio bar. You can select from a variety of audio streams, depending on what suits you best for this job. When you’re ready to get started, just click the play button, or use your foot pedal to begin playing. Then, just begin typing in the word document.
